It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Not worth engaging it on its own level but whatever I can't resist.
This ignores the existence of El Niño. Non-equatorial climates are incredibly stable and periodic compared to the alternating unpredictable aperiodicity of flooding then drought brought around every few years by El Niño and La Niña. To exist in equatorial climates is basically to live on Trisolaris. You have no idea if next year the land you've cultivated for the past two decades will suddenly become an arid wasteland. You have to be incredibly resourceful to survive in such a regime, and a lot of people didn't. For more on this and British mismanagement of regions subject to ENSO pressures because they had no idea wtf it was (so they eliminated the vast ancestral community food stores for efficiency) read Late Victorian Holocausts.
Compare that with storing enough food for the winter that comes, regular as the tides, lasting roughly the same amount of time every year. Oooooooh so hard to plan for. Soft as baby shit.
